Sándor Jávorka (1883–1961) worked at the botanical department from 1905 until he passed away. For many years working closely with Vera Csapody (1890–1985), they created the Iconographia Florae Hungaricae, a beautifully illustrated monograph of the flora of Historical Hungary, a reference work that is much used even by current-day botanists. Among many other works, Vera Csapody has also created ca. 11500 watercolours of both native and introduced plants, an immense collection of illustrations that enrich the unique botanical documentation housed at the Hungarian Natural History Museum.
